"that the Tories remain a coalition between the blatantly self-interested, closet racists, and homophobes.."
I've just been reading the allegations about Sarah Teather and her mucky expenses with Brent Liberal Democrats. In essence, what has been alleged is that Sarah rented a shop under a joint tenancy with the Brent Liberal Democrats and the local party made no payment in rent. This would mean the taxpayer was subsidising local party. Further allegations have been made over the shared phone system. The Brent Liberal Democrats haven't paid any phone bill by Parliament has. Investigations show some really high bills which coincide with local elections. Further investigations are under way.
What Martin Land needs to answer is what the relationship would be, if he won, between himself and the Liberal Democrats over any property rented for his MP office? Will any Liberal Democrats members be able to use any property rented by the MP with all the office equipment and phones as a campaigning base or local HQ?
The reason this investigation has been able to be mounted is because a comparison can be made between what Sarah Teather claimed and the accounts of Brent Liberal Democrats. The Huntingdonshire Liberal Democrats don't make their accounts public. Will they in the future?
